Question Need some serious help with my playable character! Roller Skater!

Hello!
So I purchased this Roller Skater animated character but I'm sooo new to all of this unity character/animation that I don't even know where to start!

1) The character needs to be playable by me or whoever plays the game.
2) The character needs to animate with the built-in animation whenever I move it. Example, moving forward (up arrow), the character needs to use a certain animation to show it is skating. Same with right, left, backwards and jump.

I've tried tutorials but none seem to work for me. Aside from that I have no clue how to get started.

If someone could please help me with this, I'd appreciate this a million times and more!

Thank you!!!

 

Here's a road map for you:

1. Put your character away for a second, and learn how to control a simple GameObject, using Unity's default 3d models (sphere/box/capsule)
2. Put the logic in 1. on your 3d model, and well done! your character can move now. (without animations)
3. Learn how to control Animator, especially transition between idle and move animation state by current move speed
4. negotiate your movement script and your animator-controlling script well, and it is a good movable animated character now

 

Sorry, I don't understand. I'm use the default "PlayerArmature". I've been able to change it to another character before but now with this Roller Skater character, it needs the animations... I don't know how to do this at all... the animations are in the folder seems to not work on the PlayerArmature???
